Installment Receivables (Net) of $2,905,600

Basis  Particulars                                         Debit  Credit

Sale:-  Instalment Receivables  $5,000,000  

         Inventory                                               $3,200,000

 Deferred gross profit                                                  $1,800,000

Payment:-  Cash                         $4,90,000  

Instalment Receivables                                     $4,90,000

Deferred Gross profit                 $165,600  

Realised Gross profit                                              $165,600

Instalment Receivables ($5,000,000 minus $490,000) = $4,510,000
